Restrict the tax on cars to tax on fuel and the tax is automatically in

Two additional points 'for':
- the tax can't be avoided
- the industry that exists to administer tax discs will disappear
overnight along with the expense of maintaining it.

No it wouldn't. New cars would still need to be registered. Change of
ownership too - and a database kept up to date. Even those vehicles which
pay no VED still have to be registered every year if used on the roads.
And even those which aren't if you may wish to return them to the road at
some time. (SORN)
